Happiness is...

...Ryley Jay...

He makes us smile on our most trying days. 

He keeps his brother and sister on their toes. 

His dream is to grow up and be a farmer - but before that happens he wants to play drums and be a country singer. 

He is a taste of heaven.

...Kennedy Elise...

She is our beautiful baby girl - the middle child shoved right in between an older and younger brother. 

She is a talented piano player.

She loves to be outside playing - especially with baby kitties.

She loves to read.

She loves her American Girl Doll (Elise), My Little Ponies and Littlest Petshops.

...Devin Michael...

Our first born.

Almost a Teenager

Sweet, sensitive and caring

A great student and an awesome son.

LOVES Baseball - especially the Minnesota Twins

Our kids - Our love - Our Life 

First Day of School: 2010-2011

The First Day of School! 

Devin heads over to Colfax this year for 7th Grade and Kennedy is in Aber for 4th Grade.

Little Poopsie would not take off his warm fuzzy jammies (even though it was already 80 degrees this morning) - he was bound and determined to take the kids to school in them.

Our 7th Grader - *SNIFF SNIFF!*

Two weeks ago today...

...it was our 13 year Anniversary! Happy Anniversary Michael Jay - Love ya more than ever!

Where have we been the last year....

...we've been FISHIN'!
Summer is flying by - school days are soon upon us. I'd like an extra month of summer please - we feel like we've only begun.
I hope to post more frequently this year...(HA!)
We have a busy year ahead. Devin starts 7th Grade...entering into the Junior High. Kennedy will be in 4th grade. Our little poopsie has one year left before he starts Kindergarten.

We have a year full of Junior High Football and Basketball. Kennedy will continue with her piano lessons and is "thinking" about basketball. Ryley always has so much "work to do" that he will be busy planting his fields and then hauling beets. It's tough just about being 5 and having such a big work load.

Fun in the Sun

We were invited to Deer Lake on our anniversary! We spent the day with our family, the weather was beautiful and it was a fun day had by all. Thanks Joe & Nancy!

Happy 12th Anniversary....on Sunday

12 years and 3 Happy, Healthy Children later, what more could we ask for?

Today the weather in North Dakota was absolutely perfect! We sat outside and the kids played ~ boy do they have endless amounts of energy.

The kids have requested grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner? Doesn't seem appropriate for the weather, but whatever. For dessert I am trying a new recipe - Chocolate Banana Bread. I found the recipe @ www.joyofbaking.com. If you get a chance, check out that awesome baking website.
